1: Introduction - [INTRO]
This is my first guide, and I hope it's good. Enjoy it. If you have
anything to add, or any questions, my email's at the top. I'm not above
people telling me a better way to do something, and all submitted stuff
will be credited.
But please don't whine to me if one my tactics don't work for you.
Thanks for reading.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2: Characters - [CHAR]
The characters have no introduction because they need no introduction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autobots: 5
Optimus Prime: Playable.
Alternate mode: Peterbuilt Semi.
Bumblebee: Playable.
Alternate mode: '76 Camero, later turned into an '09 Preproduction Camero
Ironhide: Playable.
Alternate mode: GMC Topkick C4500
Jazz: Playable.
Alternate Mode: Pontiac Solstice.
Ratchet: Not Playable, he's not even in the game except for a few cutscenes.
Alternate Mode: H2 Hummer, Search & Rescue custom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Decepticons: 8
Megatron: Playable.
Alternate Mode: Cybertronian Jet.
Starscream: Playable.
Alternate Mode: F-22 Raptor.
BlackOut: Playable.
Alternate Mode: MH-53M Pave Low IV Helicopter.
Scorponok: Playable.
Alternate Mode: None, he's always a scorpion.
Barricade: Playable.
Alternate Mode: Saleen S281 Patrol Car.
Shockwave: Not Playable. Appears as a Boss.
Alternate Modes: Huge grounded Cannon, and Helicopter for movement.
Brawl: Not Playable. Appears as a Boss.
Alternate Mode: M1 Abrams tank. Note: He was called Devastator in the movie.
This is due to an error on the movie makers' part.
BoneCrusher: Not Playable. Appears in Two missions.
Alternate Mode: Buffalo Armored Vehicle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unlockable Skins: Complete certain tasks to unlock the skins.
G1 Optimus: Collect all the Autobot symbols.
This is awesome, playing as the original Prime. You get the actual
Generation 1 Optimus Prime, he's even a cab-over.
G1 Megatron: Collect all the Deception symbols.
This is the actual Generation 1 Megatron. Personally, I like it more
than the new Megatron, as Frank Welker's voice fits this one better. He
doesn't transform into his Walther P-38 mode, but he does fly just like
his new movie counterpart.
And yes, it makes sense, as in the originals, the Decepticons could fly
somehow.
Robovision Optimus: Beat the Autobots campaign.
The only difference on this one is the colors are solid, there's no flames.
I personally don't care for this one.
G1 Jazz Repaint: Complete all of the sub-missions,
both Autobot and Decepticon.
Unlike the Optimus and Megatron, this isn't a complete overhaul.
It just puts Jazz's colors on his new version. Not bad looking.
G1 Starscream Repaint: Complete the Decepticon campaign.
Same as Jazz, this just has Starscreams original colors on the new version.
I rather like this as it gives him color, instead of being all silver.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Autobots Campaign - [AUTO]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 1: The Suburbs - [AUTO1]
First off, before we begin the missions, familiarize yourself with
Bumblebee. People complain about the controls being difficult, but
they're not hard once you get used to them. Once you feel you have the
hang of him, head toward the green arrow and enter the circle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: Uninvited Guests - [AUTO1.1]
Decepticons! These guys are drones, so they're easy to destroy. Put
your reticle on one and hold L1 to lock on. This also tells you their
health meter. The small, red ones can be shot at, but the bigger blue ones,
and most of the ones from here on in, block every time you shoot at them.
So melee until they're all dead. Very simple, and a great spot to raise
your Heroic skill.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: Guardian Angel - [AUTO1.2]
More Decepticon drones. This time they're in vehicle mode. The best
strategy is to stay in vehicle mode and shoot at them with your light
weapon until they Transform. Once they're in robot mode, they will no
longer head to the dealership, so make them turn from vehicle first,
then destroy them. There are 5 in all. If you time it just right, the
last 3 are easy because you'll be on a single road. Just transform into
robot mode and when they get near you, shoot at them with your light weapon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 3: Protect and Serve - [AUTO1.3]
Boss: Barricade.
This mission starts off with a fight against Barricade.
You'll notice he's swinging his arms. At this point, Melee and weapons
don't work. You must throw an object at him to make him stop. When you do,
he will charge you. It only takes 3 hits, a normal combo, before the next
phase begins.
It's a race now, but luckily, it's easy. Transform into vehicle mode,
and take the first right. Then, take the second left. After that,
the first right. Then gas it.
Pretty much the same thing, just throw, combo. This time it takes
two combos to make him run.
Once again, it's a race. But instead of following him, take the first right.
Then, take the first left. That's the mall. Head to it, with the beacon at
the top of the minimap. Turn right and cut across the grass, and then drive
straight to the end, where you'll make a final right turn headed towards
the green beacon.
Now you're at the power plant. Don't rush barricade and don't pick up a tank.
Instead, hang back and let him blow up the whole area. Then find a small
red pipe, and you know the rest. It takes three combos to defeat him.
A job well done on defeating Barricade.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4: Air Traffic Control - [AUTO1.4]
This is an easy mission. Bumblebee's Heavy weapon is best in this one.
Just lock onto the targets and fire away. After that, it's a race.
You have only one minute to reach the area. Plenty of time. Just turn
to face the red arrow and transform into the car. It's fairly straightfoward.
Once you arrive, take out the decepticons first. It's not nessecary,
but they're annoying. Once again, shoot at the flashing red objects.
Another one minute time race, but it's nothing to sweat.
Now comes the fun. Stand at the edge of the mission area, it's marked by the
green circle on your minimap. After that, target one group of explosives, and
fire your light weapon, then watch the fun. After that's cleared, then three
towers are all that's left. Destroy those, then congratulations!
Watch the awesome cutscene.
After this, you have free run of the Suburbs level. So play in it as
much as you want, and collect up to 80 of the Energon cubes for the
challenges.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 2: More Than Meets The Eye - [AUTO2]
This time you get to play as three different Autobots. It's the same
map as Suburbs, but at night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: Obstruction of Justice - [AUTO2.1]
Autobot: Jazz.
Follow the yellow markers. When you hit your first red one,
transform and destroy the key target. They're easiest destroyed
by your Heavy weapon. After that's completed, you'll need to follow the
yellow markers again. Fairly straightfoward, but Jazz may take time to
get used to, as he's more erratic than Bumblebee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: A Friend In Need - [AUTO2.2]
Autobot: Ironhide.
This time, you're Ironhide. Transform and drive towards Jazz. You'll
have plenty of time to reach him. Once you're there, destroy the drones
to initiate the next phase.
Another race to Jazz. When you reach him, focus on the swinger. Hurl an
object, trees work well, at him, then run to him and hit him twice,
then back off. Repeat twice. The red drones respawn.
Yet another race, with some funny dialogue between Ironhide and Optimus.
This time you're up for a real fight. Meleeing and shooting doesn't
work against this new foe, so grab an object and toss it at him.
When he's knocked down, pick him up and toss him. This takes about
three times to dispose of him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 3: Flight of the Bumblebee - [AUTO2.3]
Autobot: Optimus Prime.
Now you play as the big man himself. Just follow Bumblebee in truck
mode for a good 5 minutes. Not that difficult, but boringly long.
I counted two points where you need to Transform and climb buildings.
You'll know when you need to, so go ahead, and get back to the ground
as quick as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4: Heavy Weapon - [AUTO2.4]
Autobot: Optimus Prime.
Boss: Shockwave.
This is one of my favorite fights. Head to Shockwave and grab a tree
or a pole, and start hitting him with it using the melee button.
Meleeing and weapons don't do damage while he's a turret. Once he
transforms, lay into him. After a few hits, he'll transform into a
Helicopter, so keep on him in Truck mode. No new patterns are introduced,
this is just a pure Autobot vs. Decepticon.
Congrats! You have free roam of this level. It's the same as Suburbs, but
at night, and you have Optimus Prime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 3: Inside Hoover Dam - [AUTO3]
You play as Bumblebee throughout the whole level.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: Breakout! - [AUTO3.1]
This mission is as easy or as hard as you make it. First off, rush the
blast door and melee it to destroy it. Now a drone will come and try to
sound an alarm. When you regain control, you'll be automatically a car,
so start firing your light weapon at the drone. Follow it until a point
where it turns right and you can go straight. Head straight, transform,
and then target it. Begin meleeing it and it should be destroyed.
Return to the doors and destroy the turrets before attempting the next door.
Repeat this about four times. Mission Complete.
If you stay right behind a drone and you're holding down the light weapon
button, the drone will be destroyed quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: Tunnel Vision - [AUTO3.2]
After the cutscene, hit the gas and keep firing your light weapon. This
will clear out any girders you may run into. Once you're out of the tunnel,
you have to reach the others and destroy their fans. So pick one, rush to it,
and when you reach the fan, Transform and melee it. It takes three hits.
Then run back aways, Transform into car mode, and hightail it just like
at the beginning. Repeat until you destroy them all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 3: Power Drain - [AUTO3.3]
Another completely timed mission. Head to the green dots on your minimap,
transform, and climb the buildings. Once you're at the top, pick up the
Generator, and toss it away. Immediately after you throw it, jump off and
head to the next one. Do this five times for a mission complete.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4: Waking Giant - [AUTO3.4]
Begin this mission by destroying the clamps around the All Spark with
your light weapon. After that, it takes three minutes for the All Spark
to shrink. Little scorpions will attack, so aim at the ground and just
shoot with your heavy weapon. Destroying the scorpions will give you
health, so destroy as many as you can. And constantly move. While you
still can, get right up to Megatron. Look below for the reason. After
thirty seconds, Megatron comes back to life and begins to shoot electricity
at you. This is why you need to move.
One thing I discovered, if you get near Megatron, there are tanks with
health bars on them. Destroy them, and he won't shoot at you. But he does
regenerate. So watch his health meter. I just now discovered this
(I'm writing this guide as I'm playing through the second time), and
this will save you a LOT of trouble! This actually turns it from a very
frustrating mission to a very easy mission.
Congrats! You have free roam of the Dam. Once again,
collect 80 Energon cubes for the challenges.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 4: The Last Stand - [AUTO4]
You're in a city now. As usual, head to the beacon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: Exterminator - [AUTO4.1]
Autobot: Ironhide.
No strategy involved at all. Just destroy all 100 Scorpions
with your light weapon.. Honestly one of the easiest missions in the game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: Unfriendly Skies - [AUTO4.2]
Autobot: Jazz.
Boss: Starscream.
Boss: Blackout.
So you go from the easiest mission in the game to the hardest mission
in the game. There's a surprise in this one. Avoid starscream until he
transforms. Go toe-to-toe with him until he flees. He then calls an ally
that looks a lot like the G1 seekers (Skywarp and Thundercracker). This one
has flamethrowers on him, so throw an object and attack. After you defeat
him, Blackout will join.
Remember to heal when you need to. The health icons actually respawn,
so you never run out.
When Blackout is first in the air, hit him with your heavy weapon.
This actually does damage. Then when he transforms, it's the same strategy.
He does have an attack where he launches foward, so try to side step this.
Toe-to-toe with him until he leaves. Then another flamethrower decepticon
comes. Then comes the fun part. It's your duty as an Autobot to dispose of
both Starscream and Blackout at the same time.
This is one I've had to repeat atleast 5 times before I got it. Normally we
don't shoot at the big boys, but use your light cannon on Blackout. This does
no damage, but it does stop him. Then melee Starscream, and wipe him out
first. It's easier to destroy Starscream first, because Blackout heals
whenever he transforms. This one does take awhile. If you get cornered,
Transform and drive away, but try not to get hit. And remember where all
the health icons are. Like I said, they respawn.
If you decide to run away, as soon as you hit the transform button,
hold down the accellerate. Even Nitro if you're really dying. Just
periodically run away and heal up. This fight will take a long time.
It is possible to kill Blackout first, but you have to ignore every
instinct and just keep wailing on him, even as Starscream wails on you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 3: For The Fallen - [AUTO4.3]
Autobot: Ironhide.
Boss: Brawl.
Brawl killed Jazz! That does it, it's time to show what Ironhide is
really made of. After you melee him for a bit, he'll flee and drones
will appear. You know what to do.
After that, drive straight towards him. When you're driving at him,
he'll fire rockets at you. Just drive straight, hit the nitro, and
when you reach him, Transform and start pounding on him again.
Once he runs, two drones will appear. One's a swinger, and the other
is a new type, a Bull Rusher. You know what to do with the swinger,
but with the Rusher, you can either fire at it or wait for it to stop,
then hit it with a normal combo then back off. I like to destroy the
swinger first, because sometimes you get unlucky and the rusher
knocks you into the swinger.
Chase after Brawl again. This is the last time you fight him. Just
beat him with melee's. The all spark is almost ours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4: Keep Away - [AUTO4.4]
Autobot: Bumblebee.
Boss: Barricade.
Nothing is new here. You beat Barricade once, you're going to do it again.
No new strategies, just plain, old fashioned, beat 'em up.
Another race. But this one is actually quite stupid. He goes in the
completely opposite direction, so head to the green dot, and another
fight will break out.
Try not to get into a corner, that's all I can say. After a bit more
fighting, this'll be complete.
Congrats! You have Free Roam of the city, as Bumblebee.
Once again, collect 80 Energon cubes for the challenges.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 5 - The Ultimate Doom - [AUTO5]
This is it. You are Optimus Prime. Fighting against your brother, Megatron.
Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost.
Megatron will start off by doing two bombing runs. On the third
strafe, he'll transform. Throw objects at him until his health meter
appears. Then melee until he Transforms and strafes again.
Once again, two bombing runs, then he Transforms. Again throw objects,
and Melee until he flees. And again, two bombing runs. Pick up a tree.
This time, he uses flamethrowers. Throw the tree you picked up at him. One
hit should make him stop, then you can melee again.
This is his last bombing run. When he transforms, you have to keep
throwing objects at him until he starts using normal attacks. Again,
it takes a few melee hits to finally bring him down. Then watch the
beautiful ending cutscene, with the way it should've been in the movie,
with Optimus finishing Megatron.
Congrats! You just beat the Autobot's campaign.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 6: Cybertron: Autobot - [AUTO6]
This pits you against 35 Decepticon drones. Shockwave can be fought here too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4: Decepticons Campaign - [DECEP]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 1: SOCCENT Military Base - [DECEP1]
You are Blackout. Get used to his controls, as aircraft are different than
the vehicles. Once you got it, head to the beacon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: Sand Storm - [DECEP1.1]
Decepticon: Blackout.
Wreak havoc. No strategy, just Transform into helicopter and use your heavy
weapon to blow up everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: Communication Breakdown - [DECEP1.2]
Decepticon: Scorponok.
Scorponok is really something else. He gets damaged quite easily, so shoot
down helicopters for health icons.
A single barrage of light weapon should be enough to destroy them. Just hold
down the button until it's depleted.
I found it easiest to go after the furthest one first, it's to the right.
Then race back to the others.
Remember: The bigger the arrow, the closer the target.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 3: Seek and Destroy - [DECEP1.3]
Decepticon: Blackout.
Just head to each target location, and destroy the buildings in the area
until you find the flashing green computers. Pick them up, then toss 'em.
Do this five times. It's easiest to melee the buildings. Remember to shoot
down helicopters and airplanes for health.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4: Fire in the Sky - [DECEP1.4]
Decepticon: Blackout
This is a dogfight now. Destroy only the ones that appear as red dots
on your minimap. Heavy Weapon is the best here. Transform only if you
need health, you can shoot down a helicopter or two. If you can't find them,
just stick to the airbase. They're always there.
If you're trailing, hit the accel button for a nitro boost to catch up.
Congrats! You now have free roam of the SOCCENT Military Base as Blackout.
Collect 80 Energon cubes for the Challenges.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 2: The Hunt For Sam Witwicky - [DECEP2]
You play as Barricade through this whole level. It's the suburbs, but at
night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: Rough Justice - [DECEP2.1]
First you must defeat eight Autobot drones. Afterwards, Transform and
drive towards the next mission area.
A few more Autobots, including one swinger. If you chose the Decepticon
campaign first, this would be your first encounter with them. Throw an
object (Trees and poles are best because you can still run), and when it
hits them, they stop swinging. That's when you melee them. After this,
another batch of Autobots will appear. Dispose of them and it's Chapter
Complete.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: Race for Frenzy - [DECEP2.2]
Frenzy's in trouble, and it's up to Barricade to save him. Your first order
of buisness is to destroy buildings. Heavy weapon works best here. Destroy
all the ones with health bars on them. After the cutscene, follow the
vehicle. You do this six times. Just Heavy weapon the buildings and you'll
get frenzy soon enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 3: Pursuit - [DECEP2.3]
At the beginning, Nitro and stay close to Bumblebee, using your light
weapon on him at all times. Once he transforms, do the same. At first
he'll crouch and you'll hear a sound. When you do, block instantly. (If
you've ever played Spider-Man 2, it is surprising similar to Shocker's
attack.) Do that enough times to get close to him, then melee him.
This time it's a get to the action zone race. You know what to do.
Now you must fight off Autobot Drones. They don't stand a chance against
Barricade.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4: Plight of the Bumblebee - [DECEP2.4]
Boss: Bumblebee.
Same fight as last time. Block, move, Block, Attack. If you knock him down,
pick him up and throw him. This causes a little extra damage.
Afterwards, head to the green arrow. You don't need to arrive before he
does, you just need to arrive. It takes 4 times before this mission is
complete.
Congrats! You have free roam as Barricade in the suburbs. Collect 80
Energon cubes for the challenges.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 3: A Gathering Force - [DECEP3]
You play as Starscream throughout this whole level. Personally,
I think his jet mode is fun, but his jump is too out of control.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: Clearing the Air - [DECEP3.1]
This mission can be a toughie. It's your job to find radio towers and
destroy them. All I can tell you is keep as low as you can, and watch your
radar screen. It'll go clear once you're in range of the towers.
Starscream's Heavy weapon works best. Do this 5 times for a complete mission.
Set 1: Located at the Aircraft Depot.
Set 2: Near the Aircraft Depot, head inwards towards the middle of the city.
Set 3: Look for three big round oil tanks. They are here.
Set 4: From set 3, move so the open desert is on your left, and the city is
on the right. Now head straight..
Set 5: In a corner at the Tank Depot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: Sinister Saviour - [DECEP3.2]
This is a rescue/escort mission. You must protect Bonecrusher. Starscream's
heavy Weapon works best. Hit the turrets two times to destroy them. Ignore
the autobots. It's fairly safe to fly ahead and start destroying the turrets
before Bonecrusher gets there, as he'll drive within range before the timer
runs out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 3: Fireworks - [DECEP3.3]
You must destroy 10 jets and then pick up their wreckage. The best way is to
get a few then pick up their wreckage. If you're lucky enough, you can even
get a few from the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4: Warpath - [DECEP3.4]
Exactly the same as Sinister Saviour, except you're guarding both
Bonecrusher AND Brawl. Not very difficult. Just Heavy Weapon all the tanks.
Congrats! You have free roam of the military base as Starscream! Collect
80 energon cubes for the challenges.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 4: City of the Machines - [DECEP4]
You know the drill, get to the beacon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: Nowhere to run - [DECEP4.1]
Decepticon: Barricade.
Boss: Jazz.
We cried for him in the Autobots Campaign, but now it's time to feel glee
as we rip the spark from him.
He rushes in guns blazing, so melee him until he flees.
This is a different type of race. You have to keep up with him, shoot him
with your light weapons, and hit the checkpoints.
Once you get him to transform, lay into him again. This time, he won't flee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: Energon Overload - [DECEP4.2]
Decepticon: Scorponok.
This battle is quite tough actually. You have to keep destroying Energon
drones until their count reaches zero. No strategy involved, you just have
to be quick. Your best bet is to group them and light weapon them into
submission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 3: The Mighty Will Fall - [DECEP4.3]
Decepticon: Blackout.
Boss: Ironhide.
This is absolutely the greatest boss battle I've ever had.
First, destroy the minions. Melee works best on them. Afterwards,
Ironhide will begin rushing. Just move past him and follow until he stops.
Then throw a combo on him. After he gets knocked down, I like to throw him
down the street, so that when he comes back in truck mode, I can shoot at
him for extra damage.
Remember to shoot down helicopters if you need health. And stay away from
Ironhide while you're killing his minions. If you catch him in truck mode,
use your Heavy Weapon to put a hurtin' on him.
The third wave will have Swingers. Dispatch of those last. Afterwards,
Melee Ironhide again. Wave four will have two swingers now.
Do your best to stay in Robot mode. If you transform, you'll be a lot
more susceptible to damage. The first time I was a helicopter in this
mission, I was killed in three shots. Luckily, it works both ways,
that's why it's best to throw Ironhide and then see if he turns into
the truck.
After the fourth wave, he should be nearing death.
The fifth wave features Swingers and rushers. Destroy the rushers first,
then the swingers are no problem, all the while keeping away from Ironhide.
While you're fighting the drones, Ironhide won't move. So this is a great
opportunity to get health. If you knock a rusher down, use your heavy weapon
on him to inflict major damage.
That's the last wave. Continue your reign of terror on Ironhide until he's
but scrap. The All Spark is almost ours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4: Devastation - [DECEP4.4]
Decepticon: Megatron.
You play the big toasty himself. And you're doing what he does best.
Levelling the city. Keep a constant barrage of heavy fire on everything
in sight, and nothing will be left standing. I find it a lot easier to be
in jet mode and use the heavy weapon to inflict maximum damage.
When you get to the wave of enemies, destroy them all until there is one
charger and two red ones left. Ignore the reds and destroy the charger.
Then back to destroying the city.
After the second wave, you'll be ordered to head to the last point.
But when you land, it's not there? You must climb that huge building
from it's back, as that's the only climable area. You'll have plenty
of time. When you reach the top, a cutscene initiates.
Congrats! You can now free roam the city as Megatron. Collect 80 Energon
cubes for the challenges.

Level 5: Day of the Machines - [DECEP5]
Boss: Optimus Prime.
Before you begin this level, play the previous one in freeroam to get a
feel for the city. You'll need it in this battle.
Melee Optimus Prime. Keep an eye on your minimap, and watch the glowing
red dot that runs across the road. I just discovered this, and this will
be very helpful in locating Prime. After he flees, dispatch the Autobots
and head to his next area.
He's at the following:
Area 2: Head to the park and turn left, then go straight.
He'll be waiting there.
Area 3: Turn back to the park, take it straight, then at the very end,
turn left. He's there in the corner.
Area 4: Standing in the corner facing the street, take the road to the
left towards the construction site. Take the first left past the
construction site, and there Optimus will be.
Area 5: Facing away from where you entered, fly down the long stretch of
road. Turn right on the road just before the curve. If you got the
right road, Optimus will be standing there. This is his final resting place.
I'm going to be as evil as Megatron and not give any strategy on beating him.
Do it your own way. And his Autobots are ones you've faced already.
The All Spark is yours.

Challenge 1: Hunt.
Located to the left of where you start. Just run to your left past the trees.
Strategy: I've read about people saying to melee and shoot the
vehicles, but I have an even easier way. Learn the vehicle's pattern,
then wait for it, for atmost 10 seconds, to come to you.
Then target it in robot mode, kick it over, pick it up, and throw it.
It's destroyed instantly!! Saves a LOT of time. This works for all the
hunts too.

Again from Beacon one, head in the opposite direction of Challenge 2.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Skills - [MISC1.5]
Jump: In every level except The Last Stand, there are ramps you can use.
Just find the ramp, get a good ways back, then nitro up to full speed
(125mph).
In The Last Stand, climb a particularly tall building, get to an edge,
turn around so you're facing the middle of the building, start running,
hit Transform, and immedately afterwards, hit Nitro. A good high building
will get you a full meter.
Speed: Find a nice long open stretch of road, and just hit accel. Nitro is
not needed. Try not to slow down or hit anything.
Slide: I have found the easiest way to do this skill! A lot of people will
say to get a good run, then handbrake (L2) and turn to the left. But that
doesn't always work.
Instead, find a nice stretch of open road like you were doing speed, hit
Nitro, wait for it to get to full speed (125mph), then hold the Handbrake
down, and let go of accel and Nitro. You'll slide foward, and get this skill
filled up a LOT easier.
Throw: Pick up an object, preferrably a tree. Run to an open area, aim it
high, and throw it. This one may take a while to get on the Inside Hoover
Dam mission, as there's not much space there.
Heroic: Easy or hard, depending on the situation. Try to get surrounded by
enemies, and just unleash on them. If done right, this will build up quickly.
